Numbness is a feeling

Numbness is a feeling

A Chapter by ANAMIKA ROY
"

The second chapter to my series of writing from - You are enough

"

Tell me what keeps you awake all night,

Tell me why you soak your tears on that pillow every night,

Tell me what worries you,

Tell me what you feel inside you,

But first tell me,

if you feel anything at all….

In my last chapter I wrote about the crude reality of depression.

 

In this chapter I’ll write how depression changes your emotions. Does it make you too vulnerable to everything around you?

 

Do you just give away the power to hurt you, to anyone?


Or maybe, just maybe, you don’t feel anything at all?


The emotional void, that emerges, is nothing but your reflection staring back at you, telling you, everything is futile. Every day, you march on the Earth, wearing the veil of futility. The covered face doesn’t see the reality. Your reality.

                           

What happened to you? Why doesn’t anything excite you or make you sad.


Why do you think it’s not important to express what you feel? Why did you stop trying?


Wake up sunshine.

It’s your day to rise and shine.

It’s your day to make someone laugh.


Because hon, you do have the fire in you. So light it up.

Twirl a little in your merry-go-round called life and face the hardships.


But know one thing, everything is transient. So is your pain.


NO NO NO !

Numbness is not the answer.

We came in this world, crying, kicking and trying hard.

That's how we'll leave it too.

Let your tombstone just not recite who grieved when you left.

Let it also tell the stories of people who were pleased while you were breathing.
